UNSPSC 50451735: Frozen organic hardee avocados

The variety of organic avocados known as organic hardee avocados that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451735 Frozen organic hardee avocados is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not support procurement of frozen organic avocados specifically. Instead, the solicitations cover broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and general state and local food supply—including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous grocery items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia). The mix reflects the dominant role of K–12 nutrition programs in state and local food procurement, with school districts soliciting line-by-line or lot-based bids for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and non-food supplies with bids due June 8, 2026 (IFB); the City Schools of Decatur's invitation for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bids due May 15, 2026 (IFB); the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026 (electronic bid via NUTRIKIDS); the State of Georgia's invitation for fresh produce with bids due May 27, 2026 (IFB); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety standards, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on the issuing body. The code shows no targeted set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises in the posted opportunities, though some solicitations encourage M/WBE participation.
